its from the creators of dota, so it snormal it resembles it.
its their first complete modification of game, in this case WCIII.
unfortunately, i have played it for like 30 minutes, and its not for me... i was never a dota fan to begin with and this game, though pretty much looked awesome and well made, wasn'T my type.
the only strat game i ever liked was SC and i am waiting on SCII.
but have fun, that game is cool for what it is and well made as well.
